MONDAY, MAY 8, 19-14 fourth Ferry team To Play Biytheville 9 The BAAF baseball tcnm will get another severe test Saturday In ft game at Memphis vrttli the highly- touted Fourth Ferry Command nine, one of the strongest service camp squads in the country, 1 Lieut. Bill Adams, uost athletic officer, announced today. 'Tills game, in addition to tryius tire mettle of the local team, will also pretty well decide the 1944 itidSdulh Service Camp championship, for no other service nine in the secllon has displayed the ability and power of the Ferry Command and the BAAF. And, while the Service Camp Tournament Is still over a month nwjiy, Saturday's game should give fans a strong indication of the prospective i i&nner. On the basis of the season's records, the BAAP will enter the game «s the underdog, for the Tonnes seans have been playing big league caliber ball all season and have licked every, team they've played thus far. So good are they : that tonight they'ie stepping out of service camp competition to take on the St. Louts Cardinals In an exhibition game at Memphis. They may be beaten for the Card manager; Billy Soulhworth, has already announced Ills intention of sending his first team against the Ftrry Command, and the Card! hals' first team this year Is composed of most of the same players who won the 1943 National League pennant for St. Louis. However, reports have 11 that SouthwortlY Is expecting anything But a walkover in tonight's game and the reason for his pessimism is justified when one takes a look at the Memphis lineup. ' Jimmy Brown, one of the greatest third basemen in St. Louis "baseball.history,.will lead the fliers against his former teammates. Johnny Beazley, hero of the 1942 ftorld Scries, will be the starting pitcher for Memphis, and the St. fjouis players cherish no doubts about his ability. He won many a game for the Gas House Gang before he entered Ihe Army. - On hand to relieve Benzlcy, should the going get rough, is Seigl. Hugh Mulcahy, former ace of the Philadelphia Phillies' pitching staff. In addition to these stars, the Perry Command team has a number of other former big league and ininor league stars from the re- •cenily disbanded Second Army team 'Ot Memphis in their lineup. Includ- r ed in'this group are'such capabV men as Ken Silvestri, former utility oilcher for the New York Yankees, Hg Al Flair, who was In the pro- '«ss of being groomed for the Boston Red Sox 1 first.baseman duties 'when he went to work for Uncle Sam, and Carmel Castle, n Southern league outfielder betore his service days All of these men will also be in the lineup against Biytheville Sat- tirday, and there can be little doubt Vhat they'll piescnt the locals with a good-sized pain in the neck. However, win, lose or draw, the Biytheville players believe they can 1 give the Tcnnesseans. a run for their money and are '. totally im- z.'wed by the stars they're to face. They remember their G-4 victory over the Memphis Chicks ot the Southern Association, plus their •one-sided decisions over, the Army Air Field teams from Dyersburg, Tenn, and Walnut Ridge. And. they reason that they must have a pretty if air team or they wouldn't have ieen able to turn baric squads such as these, particularly by such fat "lopsided scores. So, a confident team 'of Arkansas airmen will take the field against Memphis Saturday, utterly determined to prick the reputation of their opponents. Lefty Mel Parnell, ace ot the BAAF pitching staff, will start the 'game. A Jockey on Trial Canny Slated To Meet Badui Here Tonight V r - v Cornell's Crew .

Whenever Jimmy 'Ball Players Never Win Disputes With Umpire NEW YORK, May 8 (UP)—Evcr> haseball season brings its quola o 'disputes that invariably end with Dykes, Le Durocher, or anyone else gets tossei out of a ball game,- the old timer start talking about umpires. An umpire's job is a tough one He's got to be right all the time because one mistake ruins a per tectly-worked game. And he's got to handle all kinds of men to keep Ihe ball-game going. Fresco Thompson, once a major league outfielder, loved to bedevil umpires. Once, when Charley Mor- a'n was behind the plate, Fresco thought Charley had called a strike Unjustly. Fresco turned around with a "peaceful and friendly look. Moran braced himself for the exchange of compliments.
